aor. ـِ (
O,
Msb,
K,)
inf. n. عَصْرٌ; (
S,
Msb;) and ↓ اعتصرهُ; (
S,
O,
Msb,
K;) [He pressed it, or squeezed it, so as to force out, i. e. he expressed, its juice, sirup, honey, oil, water, or moisture;] he extracted, or fetched out by labour or art [i. e. by pressure or wringing], (
Msb,
K,) its water, or juice, or the like, (
Msb,) or what was in it, (
K,) namely, what was in grapes, (
S,
Msb,
K,) and the like, (
Msb,
K,) of things having oil, or sirup, or honey: (
TA:) or عَصَرَهُ signifies he performed that act himself; (
K;) as also ↓ عصّرهُ,
inf. n. تَعْصِيرٌ: (
Sgh,
TA:) or the latter, he superintended the pressing thereof, i. e., of grapes: (
O:) and ↓ اعتصرهُ, he had it done for him: (
K:) or this last, he did it for another, or others: (
Mgh, as implied by an explanation of مُعْتَصِرٌ:) and عَصِيرًا ↓ اعتصر he prepared expressed juice or the like. (
S, O.) [See also 8 below.] عُصْرَ is used as a contraction of عُصِرَ. (
S, O.)
b2: [Hence,] عَصَرَ الثَّوْبَ,
inf. n. as above, He wrung out the water of the garment, or piece of cloth; he forced out its water by wringing it. (
Msb.)
b3: And عَصَرَ الدُّمَّلَ لِتَخْرُجَ مِدَّتُهُ [He squeezed, or pressed, the pustule in order that its thick purulent matter might come forth]. (
Msb.)
b4: And عَصَرَ حَلْقَهُ [He squeezed his throat]. (
Mgh and
Msb in art. خنق.)
b5: and عَصَرَ,
aor. ـِ (assumed
tropical:) He took, or collected, the produce of the earth: from the same verb in the first of the senses
expl. above: and hence,
accord. to Abu-l-Ghowth, in the
Kur [xii. 49], وَفَيهِ يَعْصِرُونَ (assumed
tropical:) And in it they shall take, or collect, the produce of the earth: (
S:) or the meaning is, and in it they shall press grapes, or olives, or the like: or they shall milk the udders. (
Bd.) [And there are other explanations, which see below.]
A2: عُصِرُوا, (
S,
IKtt,
O,) or ↓ أُعْصِرُوا, (
O,
K,) They were rained upon; they had rain;
syn. مُطِرُوا, (
S,
O,) or أُمْطِرُوا [which is less correct]. (
IKtt,
K.) Hence, in the
Kur [
ubi suprà],
accord. to one reading, وَفِيهِ يُعْصَرُونَ [And in it they shall have rain]. (
S, O.) [See also above, and below.]
A3: عَصَرَهُ also signifies He saved him; preserved him: and hence, in the
Kur [
ubi suprà],
accord. to one reading, وَفِيهِ يُعْصَرُونَ [And in it they shall be saved, or preserved]. (
Bd.)
b2: Hence also, perhaps, the other reading, وَفِيهِ يُعْصِرُونَ And in it they shall aid, or succour, one another. (
Bd.)
b3: See also 8, last quarter, in two places.
A4: Also, عَصَرَهُ, (
O,
TA,)
inf. n. عَصْرٌ, (
O,
K,
TA,) It [or he] withheld, hindered, or prevented, him: (
O,
K, *
TA:) one says, مَا عَصَرَكَ What withheld, hindered, or prevented, thee? (
O,
TA.) And He refused, and withheld, it; (
K, *
TA;) namely, anything. (
TA.) [See also 8, which signifies the same.]
b2: And عَصَرَهُ, (
K,)
aor. ـِ
inf. n. عَصْرٌ, He gave (
O,
K,
TA) to him. (
K,
TA.) Thus it has two
contr. significations. (
IKtt,
TA.) Tarafeh says, لَوْ كَانَ فِى أَمْلَاكِنَا أَحَدٌ يَعْصِرُ فِينَا كَالَّذِى تَعْصِرُ (
S,
O,
TA, but in the
S with مَلِكٌ in the place of أَحَدٌ,) i. e. [If there were, or would that there were, among our kings one] giving to us the like of what thou givest: (
TA:) and another reading is, مِثْلَ مَا تَعْصِرُ; (O;) and it is
expl. (by
A'Obeyd,
TA) as meaning, doing to us benefits (
O,
TA) like as thou dost: (
O:) but Aboo-Sa'eed relates it thus; يُعْصَرُ فِينَا كالَّذِى تُعْصَرُ i. e. يُصَابُ مِنْهُ [
app. from عَصَرَ signifying “ he pressed ” grapes and the like; and thus meaning, (assumed
tropical:) from whom is gotten, among us, like what is gotten from thee; or, as it may be less freely rendered, who has his bounty drawn forth, among us, like as thou hast thine drawn forth]; and he disallowed the reading [يَعْصِرُ and] تَعْصِرُ. (
TA.) See also 8, first quarter.
A5: See also 4, second sentence:
b2: and last two sentences.
A6: And see the paragraph here following.
2 عَصَّرَ see 1:
A2: and see also 4, second sentence.
A3: عصّر الزَّرْعُ,
inf. n. تَعْصِيرٌ; (
K,
TA;) but in the Tekmileh written الزَّرْعُ ↓ عَصَرَ, without teshdeed; (
TA;) The corn put forth its glumes: (
K,
TA:)
app. from عَصَرٌ meaning “ a place of protection: ”
i. e. [the rudiments of its ears] became protected in its glumes. (
TA.) 3 عاصر فُلَانًا,
inf. n. مُعَاصَرَةٌ and عِصَارٌ, He was contemporary with such a one: or he attained to, or reached, the time of such a one. (
O,
TA.) Hence the saying, الـ
ـمُعَاصَرَةُ مُعَاسَرَةٌ وَالمُعَاصِرُ لَا يُنَاصِرُ [The being contemporary is an occasion of hard, or harsh, treatment; and the contemporary will not render reciprocal aid to his fellow]. (
TA. [But I have substituted معاسرة for
معاصرة, which latter seems to have been written by mistake for the former.])
A2: See also 8, last quarter.
4 اعصر He (a man,
TA) entered upon the time called العَصْر: (

IKtt ↓ عَصَرَتْ, without tesh-deed, (
TA,) (
tropical:) She (a girl,
S,
Msb, or woman,
K) attained the عَصْر of her youth, (
TA,) or [simply] attained the period of her youth, (
K,) and arrived at the age of puberty: (

TA:) or entered upon the time of puberty, and began to have the menstrual discharge; (
S, O;) because of her womb's being pressed; (O;) or as though she entered upon the عَصْر of her youth: (
S,
O,
TA:) or she attained the age of puberty: (
S,
IKtt:) or she had the menstrual discharge: (
Msb:) or she entered upon the time of that discharge: (
K:) or she approached that time; for, said of a girl, it is like رَاهَقَ said of a boy;
accord. to Abu-lGhowth el-Aarábee: (
S:) or she approached the age of twenty: (
K:) or she became confined in the house, (
K,) and had a retreat (عَصَرٌ) appointed for her, (
TA,) at the time of her having the menstrual discharge: (
K:) or she brought forth; (

pass. of 1 in the first of the senses
expl. above; [It became pressed, or squeezed, so that its juice, sirup, honey, oil, water, or moisture, was forced out; its juice, or the like, became extracted, or fetched out by labour or art, i. e. by pressure or wringing;] (

S,

b4: And اعتصر مَالَهُ (
tropical:) He extracted, or extorted, his property from his hand, or possession: (
S,
Msb,
TA:) from the same verb as
syn. with عَصَرَ
expl. in the beginning of this art.: (
Msb:) he took forth his property for a debt or for some other reason: (
K, *
TA:) and اعتصر, (assumed
tropical:) he took; (
K;) as also ↓ عَصَرَ,
aor. ـِ (
TA:) (assumed

TA:) (assumed
tropical:) he got, and took, of, or from, a thing: (
S, as implied in an explanation of the

tropical:) he got a thing from a person: (
L:) or,
accord. to El-'Itreefee, (assumed
tropical:) he took the property of his son for himself; or he suffered the property of his son to remain in his (the latter's) possession: you do not say اعتصر فُلَانٌ مَالَ فُلَانٍ [such a one took for himself the property of such a one] unless he be a relation to him: [you say so of a father:] and of a boy you say, اعتصر مَالَ أَبِيهِ, meaning, (assumed

TA.) [See اعتسر.] And بِالمَالِ ↓ اعتصر العَصَّارُ [or المَالَ?

A,
Mgh,
L,
TA:) in the
K, the
inf. n. is
expl. by اِنْتِجَاعُ العَطِيَّةِ; but in the
L, the verb is
expl. by اِرْتَجَعَ العَطِيَّةَ, [and in like manner in the

Mgh,] and رَجَعَ فِيهَا: (
TA:) (assumed
tropical:) he revoked, recalled, or retracted, the gift;
syn. اِرْتَجَعَ, (
Mgh,
O,) and اِسْتَرَدَّ. (
Mgh.) Hence the
trad. of 'Omar, الوَالِدُ يَعْتَصِرُ وَلَدَهُ فِيمَا
أَعْطَاهُ وَلَيْسَ لِلْوَلَدِ أَنْ يَعْتَصِرَ مِنْ وَالِدِهِ, i. e., (
tropical:) The father may take from his child what he has given him; [but it is not for the child to take from his father what he has given him.] (
Mgh, O.) But as to the
trad. of Esh-Shaabee, يَعْتَصِرُ الوَالِدُ عَلَى
وَلَدِهِ فِى مَالِهِ [(
tropical:) The father may take back what he has given to his child], the verb is made
trans. by means of على because it implies the meaning of يَرْجِعُ عَلَيْهِ, and يَعُودُ عَلَيْهِ: (
IAth,
Mgh, O: *) or this latter
trad. means, the father may forbid his child his property, and withhold it from him: (
S:) and [in like manner] the former
trad., the father may withhold his child from giving his property, and forbid it to him: (
TA:) for اعتصر also signifies he prevented, hindered, withheld, or refused;
syn. مَنَعَ. (

tropical:) He had recourse to him for refuge, protection, or preservation; (

expl. by
Lth as signifying And in it ye shall have recourse for refuge, or protection; but
Az disapproves of this: (
TA:) [the common reading] وفيه يَعْصِرُونَ,
accord. to
AO, (so in one copy of the
S,) or
A'Obeyd, (as in another copy of the
S,) signifies and in it they shall be safe; from عُصْرَةٌ signifying “ a cause, or means, of safety: ” (
S:) or they shall be safe from trial, or affliction, and shall preserve themselves by plenty, or fruitfulness. (
TA.) عَصْرٌ [which is the most common form] and ↓ عُصُرٌ (

K)
i. q. دَهْرٌ [as meaning Time; or a time; or a space or period of time]; (

O,
Msb,
K;) or any unlimited extent of time, during which peoples pass away and become extinct; (Esh-Shiháb, in the “ Sharh esh-Shifè; ”) [a succession of ages:] such is said by
Fr to be its meaning in the
Kur ciii. l: (
TA:)
pl. (of pauc., O) أَعْصُرٌ (
O,
K) and أَعْصَارٌ; (
K;) and [of mult.] عُصُورٌ (
S,
O,
K) and عُصُرٌ. (
K.) You say, مَا فَعَلْتُهُ عَصْرًا, and بِعَصْرٍ, I did it not in its time. (
A.) And ↓ جَآءُ لٰكِنَّ لَمْ يَجِئْ لِعُصْرٍ He came, but he came not at the [proper] time of coming. (
Az,
O,
K: but
Az relates it without لكنّ.
TA.) And ↓ نَامَ وَمَا نَامَ لِعُصْرٍ, (

accord. to
Az and
Sgh and the author of the
L and others, ما ↓ نام عُصْرًا, (

Az,
K, &c.) And نَامَ فُلَانٌ وَلَمْ يَنَمْ عَصْرًا, and بِعَصْرٍ, Such a one slept, but slept not during a [considerable period of] time, or day; (A;) agreeably with other significations, here following. (

syn. غَدَاةٌ: and the afternoon; or evening; or last part of the day; until the sun becomes red; as also ↓ عَصَرٌ, (
IDrd,
K.) Hence, العَصْرَانِ The night and the day: (
O,
TA:) or night and day: (
Msb:) and the morning, before, or after, sunrise, and the afternoon or evening; or the first part of the day and the last part thereof: الغَدَاةُ وَالعَشِىُّ. (
ISk,
S,
O,
Msb.) [See also الأَبْرَدَانِ.] A poet says, وَأَمْطُلُهُ العَصْرَيْنِ حَتَّى يَمَلُّنِى
وَيَرْضَى بِنِصْفِ الدَّيْنِ وَالأَنْفُ رَاغِمُ [And I put him off, delaying the payment of his debt, morning and evening, or from morning to evening, so that he loathes me, and is content with half of the debt, though unwilling]: meaning, when he comes to me in the first part of the day, I promise to pay him in the last part of it: (
ISk,
S:) or,
accord. to
Sgh, the right reading (instead of والانف راغم) is فِى غَيْرِ نَائِلِ [without liberality]: and the verse is by 'Abd-Allah Ibn-Ez-Zubeyr El-Asadee. (
TA.)
b4: Hence also (

TA,)
fem. only, and simply العَصْرُ, [and ↓ العَصَرُ,] mase. and

accord. to the Hanafees, when the shadow is equal to twice the length of the object added to the length of its mid-day shadow: its end being sunset, or the time when the sun becomes red:] so called because performed in one of the عَصْرَانِ, i. e., in the last portion of the day: (
O:) also called الصَّلَاةُ الوَسْطَى [
accord. to some], because it is between the two prayers of the day [that of daybreak and that of noon] and the two prayers of the night [that of sunset and that of nightfall]: (Abu-l-'Abbás:)
pl. [of pauc.] أَعْصُرٌ; and [of mult.] عُصُورٌ. (
Msb.) [And hence likewise,] العَصْرَانِ is applied in a
trad. to The prayer of daybreak and that of the عَصْر; one being made predominant over the other; (
Msb,
TA;) as is the case in القَمَرَانِ applied to the sun and the moon; (
TA;) or they are so called because they are performed at the two extremities of the عَصْرَانِ, meaning the night and the day; (
Msb,
TA;) but the former is the more likely. (
TA.) [See an
ex. of the
dim., العُصَيْرُ,
